Quality Control

Our Deoxycholic Acid Sodium Salt Monohydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications suitable for research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, residual solvents, and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
